Nothing's the Same

Jamie is standing outside in the beach and then Tracy companies him.

"How are you are doing?" ask Tracy.

"I think my family and friends are going bananas about me right about now. Wolverine would start going into a big rampage right about now and my parents would blasting Professor Xavier about my disappearance or death right about now," said Jamie.

"Soon as dad fix the phone line, and you can tell your friends that you are alive," said Tracy.

"If they do find me, how about you join up with us. Save the world and put the peace in humans and mutants," said Jamie.

"I'll think about it," said Tracy.

"Being a X-Men is a good cause and it's worth a while but I will let you think about it," said Jamie.

At the Xavier Mansion, some of the X-Men just got back from a mission and they don't seem very happy.

"How did you guys do?" ask Beast who there to greet them.

"We failed another mission. That's the third mission we failed since Jamie's death and we haven't one a mission since, we still can't get Jamie's death out of our heads," said Jean.

"Can you have the professor erase your memories?" ask Beast.

"One of us has let the professor erase the memory but the memory just keeps coming back and many of us refuse to forget him," said Scott.

"I guess the professor's powers isn't strong enough against the power of love and care ness," said Beast.

"Maybe the X-Men are not the same without Jamie," said Kurt.

"Look, maybe moving on about Jamie's death will take longer than expected but he want us to stay strong and it's his honor and commitment are one of things we are also fighting for," said Scott.

"I know that I'm not physic but I still believe that Jamie might be alive," said Kitty.

"Look, it's had been a week since Jamie's cargo crate fell into the sea and he haven't called or the professor haven't found him yet. I know that you were fond of the kid and we all knew that Jamie had a crush on you but some point that you have to accept his death," said Jean.

Wolverine went to the Brotherhood's house and went to take revenge on Jamie's presuming death on Avalanche and Wolverine crashes through the Brotherhood's front door.

"Where's Avalanche?" yelled Wolverine.

"He haven't came out of his room since you and Kitty blast him about his capture," said Blob.

"Where is his room?" ask Wolverine.

"Second door on the left," said Toad.

Then Wolverine goes blasting through Avalanche's bedroom door and sees Avalanche made a hole and a tunnel in the ground and he could be anywhere.

"Do you know where Avalanche is?" ask Wolverine.

"No, he didn't tell us anything," said Toad.

"What's going on here?" ask Mystique.

"Mystique, so you're the one responsible for Jamie's death," said Wolverine.

"Yes, I thought each X-men member is like a stack of blocks and take out one and they all fall. I put Jamie in that cargo crate and I snuck on board and I'm the one that put Multiple's cargo crate into the see and see him drown," said Mystique.

"You boys are lucky, I was about to take vengeance on Jamie's death on you boys it looks like Mystique saved you," said Mystique.

"Are you challenging me?" ask Mystique.

"My challenge is for Jamie, all my challenges are. Challenges is what's Jamie is all about," said Wolverine.

"Well I accept," said Mystique then the two clash and Wolverine wins quickly and Wolverine holds Mystique to the wall with one hand and claws next to her face with the other.

"This is for Jamie," said Wolverine.

"Logan stop," yelled Storm.

"Stay out of this Storm, I'm going to ease our pain by taking out the person who is responsible for Jamie's death," said Wolverine.

"Jamie's honor and commitment is not about vengeance, please I know it's a hard time right now and I'm angry too and the rest of the X-Men are angry too but just let it go because I know that what he wants," said Strom then Storm drives Wolverine back to the mansion.

"I sorry that I went out of control," said Wolverine.

"Forget about it. I am close to fry Mystique because she's the main reason why Jamie's dead. Everyone at the mansion loves him and they were overprotective of him, which cost him his life. Right now my fight for the world that humans and mutants can life together is for him. That's how far I can repay his life and what he did for us," said Storm.

"My honesty that I'm the one that told the older kids that don't let him in the danger room because he's too young and he's can't control his powers as he should and look what it cost him and us. Maybe I should have test him first in the danger room to see if he could take it or not and he could have a better chance fighting off the Brotherhood on his own. Looks like my theory on him failed," said Wolverine.

"All of us had a part in Jamie's low status. Many thought because of his age, he couldn't get stronger faster than anybody else and we never give him a shot to prove himself. We all love him but we should see him as a strong companion like the rest of us and we all will never forgive ourselves for that," said Storm.

"Everything I do from now on is for Jamie," said Wolverine.

"So the rest of our doing is for Jamie's honor this point on. Jamie's honor is fight with the heart and mind, not powers," said Storm.

"Maybe Jamie could have been better than the rest of us," said Wolverine.

"My bet he would have Wolverine, he would have," said Storm then they arrive the mansion and the X-Men realizes Jamie's death make a bigger damage on the X-Men that they thought.

"Nothing's the same without Jamie. We lost a few missions than ever and Wolverine has gone to a higher level of revenge and rampage," said Scott.

"Kurt, Kitty's on the roof for hours now so why you talk to her?" ask Xavier then Kurt teleports to the roof where Kitty is looking at the night sky.

"Are you ok Kitty?" ask Kurt.

"I still believe that Jamie's alive and the next time we see him, we won't see him as a weak which he's not," said Kitty.

"I think all of us still believe that he might be alive and the next time we see him we will not see him as a weak, we will see him as strong as he is," said Kurt.

"I miss him and I refuse to believe that he's dead even he's gone missing for a thousand of years," said Kitty crying and Kurt gives her comfort.

Then they visit a black onyx stone on the mansion lawn that which is Jamie's tombstone that said 'To our strong and beloved James 'Jamie' Author Madrox. He was gone too soon'.

"Good luck to you Jamie Madrox to where ever you are," said Kitty.

Jamie is sitting on the island beach in the middle of the night and then Tracy accompanies him.

"Are you going to bed?" ask Tracy.

"I can't sleep. I can't help thinking how much of my friends are worried about me," said Jamie.

"How they can not worry about you? You are special and a great person," said Tracy.

"I need to get home and I need to get home now. You can't swim 50 miles even there are no storms," said Tracy.

"How long that your father can repair the phone lines?" ask Jamie.

"Another week because it just him," said Tracy.

"Just him? How about 2-200 people of more help?" ask Jamie making a dozen duplicates of himself.

"In that case, I would say in 3 days," said Tracy.

"I'll get started tomorrow," said Jaime.

The next morning, Jamie and Jamie's duplicates help Tracy's father repairing the phone lines.

"How did you learn about repairing phone lines?" ask Tracy's father

"The Xavier Institute taught me a few tricks about repairing things up to phone lines to a big aircraft," said Jamie.

"Maybe you should stay here and do a lot of chores for me, with you and your powers the island will be good as new," said Tracy's father.

"No offence but the X-Men needs me more than I do," said Jamie.

"My daughter seems to like you and you would make a great son-in-law," said Tracy's father.

"What?" ask Jamie confused.

"I never see my daughter devoted to a boy before unless she has a liking to a person," said Tracy's father.

"Well I have a crush back at home and I don't know I could handle two girls at the same time, even my duplicates and me would have a hard time. It's my life, not my powers," said Jamie.

"Well it's your choice that you stay or go," said Tracy's father.

"My choice is with the X-Men," said Jamie.

"Then your life is the X-Men," said Tracy's father.
